Recommendations for Further Reduction
To reach closer to 50 tags, consider:
-
Institution tags: Keep only main institutions, remove specific departments
- Keep:
university of the arts berlin,university of osnabrück - Consider generalizing project-specific ones
- Keep:
-
Tool-specific tags: Consolidate specific tools into broader categories
google dialogflow,google cloud,google assistant→voice assistantoraitensorflow,keras→machine learning
-
Material tags: Group related materials
plastics,clay,iron→materials
-
Specific technologies: Keep only if frequently used
- Consider removing one-off tools/libraries
-
Geographic specificity:
india,himalaya,iit kharagpur→ Consider justindia
Tag Guidelines Going Forward
- Always lowercase - no exceptions
- English only - never translate tags
- Use existing tags - check the list before creating new ones
- Prefer general over specific - unless the specific tag will be used 3+ times
- Remove person names - use topic tags instead
- Avoid TODO/meta tags - those belong in draft status, not tags
